RESUMEN
RESUMEN La enfermedad del COVID-19 presenta actualmente una gama de síntomas que van desde la presencia de síntomas clásicos de compromiso de las vías respiratorias altas y bajas hasta alteraciones sensitivas como anosmia o trastornos del gusto. Las trombosis valvulares cardíacas y la endocarditis subsecuente son presentaciones extremadamente raras y poco descritas de la infección por COVID-19. Presentamos el caso de un paciente positivo para virus SARS-Cov2, quien desarrolló una bacteriemia por Staphylococcus hominis y que, ante episodios febriles persistentes y posterior evaluación de diagnósticos diferenciales, se identificó el diagnóstico de endocarditis infecciosa en válvula aórtica nativa sana -mediante ecocardiografía-, la cual fue adquirida en el hospital.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Covid-19 disease shows many different manifestations, from common symptoms affecting both the upper and lower respiratory tract, and also sensorial alterations such as anosmia or taste perversion. Heart valve thrombosis and subsequent endocarditis are extremely rare manifestations and they have been scarcely described within the context of Covid-19. We present a case of a patient that was positive for SARS-Cov-2, who developed Staphylococcus hominis bacteremia. Afterwards, he developed persistent fever, and after ruling out some differential diagnoses, a diagnosis of infective endocarditis affecting a native healthy aortic valve was made, using cardiac ultrasonography. This occurrence was considered to be hospital-acquired.
